Dear Friends,
HISTORIC MILESTONE FOR STOP GLOBAL WARMING VIRTUAL MARCH
This week the Virtual March grew to over 500,000 marchers! The movement to
stop global warming is here, now and growing louder each day. The diversity of
our new partners goes to show that we are all part of this problem, and we all
need to be part of the solution. New partners include Pastor Tri Robinson, pop
culture designer Paul Frank, Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, The Los Angeles
Zoo, Me&Ro Jewelry, and rock band Guster.
Thanks to the Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo music festivals, and to marcher Bon
Jovi, for encouraging music fans this summer to join the Virtual March.
GLOBAL WARMING THREATENS RICH FALL COLOURS
While the Virtual March continues to grow during the fall, the icon of the
season – changing leaves – is being threatened by global warming. Click here to
read more about global warming's threat to New England's rich autumn colours.
Another surprising impact from global warming is the recent declining pumpkin
crop. The severe rains of the spring and extreme heat of the summer has
directly reduced the number of pumpkins grown in the United States. One farmer
reports that his normal crop of 70 tons of pumpkins shrunk to only 12 tons this
season. Now we are talking about our Halloween jack-o-lanterns and
Thanksgiving dessert.
